More Hope for Non-Invasive Health Care!

Neuroscientists are getting excited about non-invasive procedures to tune the brain’s natural oscillations.

Nevertheless, there is clearly a growing excitement around treating neurological diseases using neuromodulation, rather than pharma-ceuticals. “There’s pretty good evidence that by changing neural-circuit activity we can get improvements in Parkinson’s, chronic pain, obsessive–compulsive disorder and depression,” says Insel.
